The Daughter of Huang Chow is a mystery novel written by Sax Rohmer. The story follows the adventures of detective Gaston Max as he investigates the murder of a Chinese merchant in London's Chinatown. The victim's daughter, Kwei-lan, becomes a key suspect in the case and Max must unravel the truth behind her involvement while also navigating the complex cultural and political tensions between the Chinese and British communities.As Max delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of intrigue and deception that leads him to the opium dens of Limehouse and the criminal underworld of the Chinese Triads. Along the way, he encounters a cast of colorful characters, including a mysterious Chinese woman, a British journalist, and a powerful Chinese crime boss.Rohmer's vivid descriptions of Chinatown and its inhabitants provide a fascinating window into a little-known world, while his fast-paced plot keeps readers guessing until the very end. The Daughter of Huang Chow is a thrilling and engaging read that will appeal to fans of classic mystery and detective fiction.Many of the larger pieces about the place contained drawers and cupboards, and these he systematically opened one after another, without making any discovery of note. Some of the cupboards contained broken pieces of crockery, and more or less damaged curios of one kind and another, but none of them gave him the clue for which he was seeking.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
